I apologize if this isn't the correct forum. I couldn't find anywhere else to post it. So I bought one of these: http://www.stickupbulb.com/. I plan(ned) on using it for a little hallway where I keep my dog when we aren't home as there is no electrical outlets there for a night light. The two problems I face are:
#1 - I read that you shouldn't use it for more than 30 minutes at a time (not good)
#2 - It is a krypton bulb and they give you 2 replacements to start implying that the bulb won't last that long. I'm also assuming it draws a lot of power.
My questions are:
#1 - Why don't they want it being used for more than 30 minutes?
#2 - Is there an LED drop in I could buy for this to make it run much longer than a krypton bulb? Both because the krypton would burn out and blow the batteries much faster?
#3 - Would this bulb be safe?
I don't really care about output it is just so my dog can see 2 inches in front of her. I have uploaded a few pix of the bulb. It almost looks like a mag lite bulb to me:
